Letters Patent No. 79,447, dated Jime 30, 1868;

IMPROVEMENT IN TUGKING-DEVIGE FOR SEWING-MAGHINES.

TO WHOMIT MAY CONCERN;

Be it known that I, WILLIAM H. COLE, of Quincy, in the county of Branch,and State of Michigan, have invented a new and useful Improvement inTuckers for Sewing-Machines; and do declare that the following is a trueand accurate'description thereof, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, and to the letters of referencetmarked thereon,and being a part of this specification.

The nature ofmyinvention consists in attaching to the ordinarysewing-machine a cheap and simple device for folding the goods in formfor tucking before being sewn, by connectingto the attachment known asthe foot an adjustable plate extending therequired distance, giving thewidtli of tuck. This plate is placed suiliciently high to allowthe-cloth to pass under, between'it and the bed of the machine, andadjusted with the foot.

' Between the described plate and foot is placed the end of alongspring-plate, allowing room for the passage of the goods between thetwo plates, over the end and top of the latter plate, serving to makethe second foldpand securing the goods in the desired form while beingsewn.

To enable others to make and use my invention, I will proceed todescribe its construction and'operation.

Figure 1 is a perspective view,

Figure 2 is a detached view of my invention, and

Figure 3 a side view of the same. I

The same letters indicate like parts in each figure.

To the foot A is connected, and forming a part thereof, slotted are; 13,to which is secured plate 0 and indicator D by thumb-screw 2,adjustable,'allowing the plate and indicator -to be moved backwards orforwards, according to the width of tuck desired; tongue-plate E, withits projecting end placed between plate 0 and rear end of foot A,allowing room for the passage'of the cloth,'and'forming a part of thetuck. Theoppqsite end of plate E is pivoted to the bed-plate of themachine in line with plate 0, and provided at its extreme pivoted endwith a right-angular plane forming a shoulder or projecting stop F,preventing the plate f'om turning too far back towards the needle, butallowing it to be turned transversely, giving room for placing the goodsin proper form to be operated upon. Between plate E and the bed-isplaced plate G, serving to raise the plate, and forming acollar for thesame, to which is attached stop F, the whole secured in the desiredposition by adjustable thumb-screw H. g

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent,is-- p i The combination, with foot A, of plates G, E, and G, the latterprovided with stop F, slotted arm B, screw 2, indic ator D, and screw H,all constructed, arranged, and operating as herein described and shown.

WM. H, COLE.
